For the first week after Lent the last
six days have been comparatively quiet in
Wheeling social circles, with the exceP-
ton, possibly, of Monday evening, when
a number OF balls were given, all of which
were largely attended. OF the prospects
for the future not much can be said. The
warm weather of the past week has gener-
ally turned the attention of the fair sex
more to thoughts of summer dresses and
out of door sports than indoor entertain
ment, although yesterday put quite q
damper on their enthusiasm. However,
the sun will shine again, the birds
will MARBLE and the time for
the picnic young man to spoil his best
pants by sitting on cherry pies, rapidly APP
proacheth. The CrOquet season has been
opened and it is understood the young
ladies-that is some of them, are anxious
to play base ball in mild sort OF way.
There is no reason why they may not Or
game club and play for their own
amusement as we'll as that Oftheir friends.
1t would indeed be refreshing sight to see
two mines composed OF pretty girls contest
ing upon the diamond. | should prefer
not to be umpire, however. A deaf and
dumb man would prove the most availa-
BILE. He could make signs. And then
they would have to use gum balls, and
broom sticks for bats. But let the club be
organized and it will be appreciated.
For several reasons the ball at Fran
2heim Hall Friday evening was not as
largely attended rs was anticipated, al
though those present spent very pleasant
evening dancing to Prof. Joe Kramer
superb music.
On Monday evening Banners music
hall was well filled with an assemblage
of Wheeling society people. the Oc-
casion being the third recital
of SignOr d'Auria's operate class
Rossini's beautiful OratOriO "Stabat
Mater" was sung in manner that
reflected much credit upon class and
teacher alike. As every person VerScd in
musical matters knows, the rendition OF
the OratOriO is difficult undertaking, even
for professionals, and therefore, the class
is deserving of 10 much more praise. OF
course it would be folly to say there were
no flaws, but the uniformly excellent man
ner in which all the solos and choruses
were sung is certainly praisewOrthy.
Among the performances that deserve espe-
cial mention were, Mr.. Ankles tenor solo,
"Cuias Animam;" the duet, "Quis Est
Homo" by Mime. d'Auria and Miss Fannie
Caldwell, and 'lnhammatus, solo and
chorus, the solo part being sung
by Mime. d'Auria in her usual
brilliant manner. The other solos and
quartettes were also evenly well sung, and
the chOruses were unusually we'll rendered
and in almost perfect harmony, nOtwith-
standing the fact that the female voices
greatly predominant. This is greatly due
to SignOr dAuria's eminent ability as a
director rs well rs instructor and accom-
panyist.
The concert given at the Opera House
Thursday evening was also fashionable
event and an artistic success.
Thursday afternoon quiet and fashion
able wedding took place at the Second
Presbyterian Church, Mr. Ephraim Wells,
of Sistersville, and Miss Mary, daughter
of Rev. J. Hanson McMechen, of this city,
being the principals Rev. w. II. Cooke,
ID. D., pastor of the church, Officiated, the
ushers being MeSSrS. John Baker, of Bel
laire, Will Morrow, Will Brady and Ben
son Caldwell, OF This city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wells left the same afternoon for New
York and other Eastern cities on bridal
tour, at the conclusion of which they will
return TO SisteIsyille to make their perma-
nent home. They were the recipients OF
many kind wishes and congratulations, rs
we'll as numerous handsome presents.
